Notes

!SOURCE: Email from Neil Whipple (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 20 Oct 2024. "Samuel Wells ... was probably the most powerful man in Brattleboro in the years leading up to the Revolutionary War in the 1770s. History notes that Samuel Wells remained loyal to the British throughout the war (and may have served as a spy), so life after the British defeat would have been difficult. But the extended Wells family remained in Brattleboro for many years after war. When the once wealthy and powerful Samuel Wells died in 1786, his estate owed more than its value. It took a few years to settle affairs, but in 1798 all of his children were offered land in Canada by the British Government to repay their father Samuel Wells for his support in the war years. They all moved to Canada, including Oliver Wells and Lucy (Whipple) Wells with a large family of young children."
